'In our day a lumber was a snog!'

Sean is wondering what the difference is between lumber and timber, and why it's so dear.

鈥淚鈥檓 in shock at the price of timber!鈥� Sean says. He鈥檚 just been installing new decking at the house. 鈥淎nd now I鈥檓 wondering what the difference is between timber and lumber?鈥�

鈥淲ell Sean. Actually I鈥檓 an aircraft fitter to trade,鈥� says Philip in Banbridge. 鈥淚 think it鈥檚 lumber in the USA. Don鈥檛 talk about the price of decking. I bought 5 pieces of American Black Walnut for a custom desk top. 拢400. Ouch.鈥�
